With recent advancements in industrial robots, educating students in new technologies and preparing them for the future is imperative. However, access to industrial robots for teaching poses challenges, such as the high cost of acquiring…
In this paper, we propose the development of an interactive platform between humans and a dual-arm robotic system based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and a multimodal artificial intelligence model. Our proposed platform consists of…
Mobility, power, and price points often dictate that robots do not have sufficient computing power on board to run contemporary robot algorithms at desired rates. Cloud computing providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure offer immense computing…
The Robot Operating System (ROS2) is the most widely used software platform for building robotics applications. FogROS2 extends ROS2 to allow robots to access cloud computing on demand. However, ROS2 and FogROS2 assume that all robots are…
Experiments using large numbers of miniature swarm robots are desirable to teach, study, and test multi-robot and swarm intelligence algorithms and their applications. To realize the full potential of a swarm robot, it should be capable of…
Humanoid robotics research depends on capable robot platforms, but recently developed advanced platforms are often not available to other research groups, expensive, dangerous to operate, or closed-source. The lack of available platforms…
The Michigan Robotics MBot is a low-cost mobile robot platform that has been used to train over 1,400 students in autonomous navigation since 2014 at the University of Michigan and our collaborating colleges. The MBot platform was designed…
OpenRoACH is a 15-cm 200-gram self-contained hexapedal robot with an onboard single-board computer. To our knowledge, it is the smallest legged robot with the capability of running the Robot Operating System (ROS) onboard. The robot is…
Modern manufacturing under High-Mix-Low-Volume requirements increasingly relies on flexible and adaptive matrix production systems, which depend on interconnected heterogeneous devices and rapid task reconfiguration. To address these needs,…
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is one of the most popular middleware for developing robot applications, but it is subject to major shortcomings when applied to real-time robotic systems in safety-critical environments. For this reason,…
Automated driving is currently a prominent area of scientific work. In the future, highly automated driving and new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems will become reality. While Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and automated driving…
